Just One Look will premiere on Netflix on March 5, 2025. The show will have six episodes dropping together and will be available to binge-watch like Coben's other adaptations.

Since the adaptation is a Polish drama, it is led by an all-Polish cast. Actress Maria Debska leads the show as Greta, a jewelry designer and wife whose life turns upside down after her husband is kidnapped and her children are threatened.

Debska is known for her appearance in Playing Hard and These Daughters of Mine.

Polish actor Cezary Lukaszewicz stars as her husband Jacek, who suddenly goes missing in Just One Look. He is best known for his performance in Loving Vincent and I am lying now.

Other known cast for the drama includes Piotr Stramowski (Green Border) and Miroslaw Zbrojewicz (Spies of Warsaw).


What is the plot of Just One Look?

The official synopsis of the show reads as follows:

''Grace's life unravels when an old photo shows her husband and others, one with a crossed-out face. Grace searches for him, realizing he's been kidnapped while her kids are threatened. The truth leads back to Grace's past trauma.''

The story follows a happily married jewelry designer, Greta, whose life takes a drastic turn when she finds her husband's photograph with a group of strangers, with one of the people ominously marked with a cross.

While Greta is trying to decipher the meaning of the photograph, she discovers that her husband has gone missing, possibly kidnapped, and her children's life is also on the line. What follows next is a series of twists and turns that are familiar to Coben's old audience.

The show will be a race against time for Greta and the possible kidnapper on the loose, who is likely connected to her past.


What is the Harlan Coben universe on Netflix?

Celebrated mystery writer Coben entered a multi-million dollar five-year deal with Netflix in 2018, under which many of his novels have been adapted for the network.

Coben is known for novellas, which are perfect for a mini-series adaptation, and they are filled with twists and a mystery that will keep you on your edge.

Many of his adaptations have stayed on Netflix's Top 10 charts, even weeks after their release, which includes Missing You, Safe, The Innocent, Stay Close and Fool Me Once.

After Just One Look, his 2019 novel Run Away is also in the works with stars James Nesbitt, Ruth Jones, and Minnie Driver, which will likely hit Netflix in 2026.
